Welcome to the Forum! I live "just down the road" from you in Langley. Send me an email and we can meet up and discuss 968 issues. There are a few other 968's around, but they are not very active in the local PCA events...

I heard from someone at Scan Automotive in North Vancouver that someone just imported a Club Sport from Japan and has since sold it. If I locate a picture of it, I will start a thread and also share the price.

If some WA 968 owners join in, we could be on to something...

I know we're not right next door, but half a day's drive away there are two of us in Moscow, Idaho. If you are headed east in the States, stop by because the beer is always cool. Both Harvey and I has been flirting with selling our cars, but we seem to always back away because they are such good cars. I sometimes get to Vancouver to visit our daughter attending Simon Fraser U.



Cheers,

Only 121 968 coupes were produced for the canadian market. They all include a package that has dual heated seats and headlamp washers. They also have kilo speedos. However, I see a number of USA 968 coupes make their way up to the great white north. As you shop the headlight washers are an easy way to spot a true canadian 968(although not 100% as some US cars have them). Good luck. There were some very cool 968s that went to Canada including two speed yellow M030 coupe twins with cloth interior.

Nice factoid Jeff. I have 1 of only 121. That explains the dual heated seats/washers.

OT. Now how may of them have sport seats like mine or were they all that way too?
